Porter Airlines announces service to Boston
Boston Logan International Airport is airline’s third U.S. destination, starting Sept. 14
TORONTO/June 18, 2009 – Porter Airlines is adding Boston to its growing list of destinations as part of its fall schedule. Service between Toronto City Centre Airport (TCCA) and Boston Logan International Airport begins Sept. 14, with up to three daily non-stop roundtrips. Porter will be the only carrier offering service between these two convenient airports.
Boston is the third U.S. city to experience the airline’s unique high-quality short-haul air travel experience committed to speed, convenience and service. The route also offers connecting flights to other Porter destinations, including Ottawa, Montreal, Thunder Bay, Ont., and Quebec City. Flights are now available for booking on www.flyporter.com, by calling 1-888-619-8622 or contacting a travel agent.
“Boston continues Porter’s current growth phase and becomes an important part of the network,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “The Boston-Toronto City Centre route provides a new connection between two of North America’s most vibrant cities.”
Porter offers unique onboard service, including complimentary wine, beer and premium snacks. It is based at its own dedicated TCCA terminal, one of the most convenient urban airports in the world, situated just minutes from downtown. Complimentary Porter shuttle buses offer passengers a short transfer to the financial and entertainment districts. The airport is also accessible by various public and private transportation options.
“We are very pleased that Porter Airlines is landing at Boston Logan International Airport, the gateway to New England,’’ said Edward C. Freni, director of aviation for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which owns and operates Logan. “As the fourth new airline at Logan this year, Porter’s service to Toronto City Centre Airport will provide Boston travelers a unique and convenient way to get to downtown Toronto.’’
Porter operates a fleet of 70-seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft, among the most popular regional aircraft in the world. It features high cruising speed, revolutionary cabin noise-reduction technology and environmentally-friendly engines. The aircraft uses 30 to 40 per cent less fuel than comparable regional and narrow-body jets.
